Idaho Prevention and Treatment Research (PATR) Workgroup

Idaho Prevention and Treatment Research (PATR) Workgroup exists to develop a system of substance abuse-related data collection, analysis, and reporting that reflects substance abuse consumption and consequences throughout Idaho.  Doing so encourages effective and progressive use of data at both the state and community level.  In addition to acting as central hub of communication between the various state data repositories, PATR also facilitates dissemination to stakeholders of all levels and is funded by the Idaho State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) Contract.  The current Chair is Scott Ronan of the Idaho State Supreme Courts and it is staffed by Nathan Drashner of the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare’s Division of Behavioral Health.
